St. Annen is the old miners' church in the new town of Eisleben. Shortly after its foundation in 1513, the Annenkirche became the first Protestant parish church in the Mansfeld region.
The coffered ceiling from the Renaissance period (1608) bears the image of the triune God with the Holy Spirit as a dove in the large central field. The twelve fields surrounding the image were repainted in 1852. The four evangelists are depicted at the four corners. The fields between the evangelists are decorated with eight pictures of the apostles, including Paul.
Unique in Central Germany is the sandstone parapet of the choir stalls, decorated with reliefs, the so-called stone picture Bible, which was created in 1585 by the sculptor Hans Thon Uttendrup from Münster on behalf of Countess Margareta von Mansfeld-Hinterort. It consists of three blocks with five fields each, three blocks with four fields each and one block with two fields. Of these 29 relief fields, 23 show motifs from the Old Testament.
